Answer: No, the orders are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

If event 1 has some possible outcomes, suppose that we choose a given outcome 1 with a probability P1, and event 2, also with different possible outcomes, we can select an outcome 2, that has a probability P2, and the two events are independent (meaning that the outcome in event 1 does not affect the outcome in event 2, and vice versa)

Then the probability of outcome 1 and outcome 2 happening at the same time is equal to the product of their individual probabilities.

P = P1*P2.

In this case, event 1 is the selection of the pizza, and outcome 1 is the selection of the square pizza, with a probability of 55%.

Event 2 is the selection of the drink, outcome 2 is the order of a soft drink, with a probability of 72%.

If those two events were independent, then the probability that a customer orders a square pizza and a soft drink would be:

P = 0.55*0.72 = 0.396 (or 39.6%)

But we know that the actual probability is 48%.

So this is larger, which means that the outcomes are not independent.

just olya [345]

{(-2, 6), (-5, -1), (3, 7), (-5, 0)}

Domain: The domain is all the x-values (-2, -5, 3, -5)

Range: The range is all the y-values (6, -1, 7, 0)

Function: It's not a function because of the x-value -5 is repeating.

Last summers, students who worked earned an average of $80 a week with a standard deviation of $12. What percentage of students
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

  • 2.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • μ = 80
  • σ = 12
  • x = 104

<u>Find z-score:</u>

  • z = (x - μ)/σ
  • z = (104 - 80)/12 = 2

Percent value corresponding to 2 as per z-table is 0.9772. This is corresponding to 97.72%.

<u>Percentage of students earned more than $104:</u>

  • 100 - 97.72 = 2.28

Freddy is on a nature hike. He hikes west 4 miles, and then he turns due north and hikes for 2 miles. It is getting dark and Fre
melomori [17]

The direct path back forms a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean theorem:

X = sqrt(4^2 + 2^2)

X = sqrt(16 + 4)

X = sqrt(20) = 2sqrt(5)

X = 4.472

Round the answer as needed.
